Tahira: Echoes of the Astral Empire is a tactical role-playing video game developed by Australian indie game developer Whale Hammer Games. First announced as a Microsoft Windows, OS X and Linux title in November 2014, the game has been in development since mid-2013 by a team of three developers. Between February and March 2015, a successful Kickstarter campaign was created to help fund development. The game was also chosen to receive additional support from the government funding agency Screen ACT.[2]
Set on a science fiction and fantasy world called Ma’abtik that is suffering a dark age after the collapse of spacefaring civilisation, the player assumes control of Princess Tahira and attempts to lead their people across the game’s world.[3] The game features tactical role-playing mechanics that revolve around conversations and battles, the outcomes of which influence each other.
